Hobbies
One of my main hobbies is programming. For just over two years, I've been coding software in C# and C++, including games, utility programs, and some more serious research-related code. I write, perform, and record rock music and play guitar and keyboard at church. I play other instruments, as well: I am classically trained in trumpet, vocals, and piano, and I've taught myself flute, cello, guitar, bass, and drum kit, with varying degrees of expertise. I produce, mix, and master my own recordings in my home studio. I also enjoy world travel, hiking, fishing, and cooking.
